Papa Bear's power

You know that gag in RWBY V2 where Taiyang ships the family dog Zwei AND several dozen cans of dog food and a can opener to Team RWBY in a single pneumatic canister? That's probably his Semblance. Being able to compress things so they can squeezed in one single package. After all...

Yang: Oh, he does this all the time.

Treats for piglet🦴

Daddy let me fast today! I love fasting because when I am denied food I get extra needy and squirmy for Sir. Daddy controls what I eat everyday and told me I could only have one small snack today... two bone shaped dog treat biscuits. The biscuits were so bitter and dry and reminded me that I am a pathetic animal and that there is no task too humiliating or degrading for me to complete for Sir.

As Sir's disgusting fuckpig, I do not deserve to be fed human food and should live off of dog food flavored with Sir's piss, cum, and spit. I am so grateful to get to sleep on the floor tonight with a mostly empty stomach and the taste of dog treats in my mouth. Thank you so much for allowing me to fast today Daddy and for the privilege of eating my dog treats for dinner!

just scrolling your blog a bit and stumbled across a post asking about Sensitive Tummy Foods. i work at a training kennel so trialing tummy issues has been much of my life so i was going to pitch a bunch of stuff i've seen work in my experience, but for me the first thing i think of if a dog is consistently having runny shits is phasing out chicken-based foods. mild allergies to chicken can be pretty common, and so can beef allergies ngl. you mentioned using nulo, and we actually tried a pair of standard poodles in our guide dog program on nulo because they had a round of giardia as puppies and their stomachs have been fried ever since, and on nulo one of the boys managed to shit UP a wall, so don't worry lol you're not the only one with adverse experiences on that kibble lol

1. we had a lot of success with inukshuk. it's expensive so it's not the only option i'll throw at you, but it's a performance kibble with a higher calorie density and i've seen a lot of dogs do well on it. my personal dog is on inukshuk marine 16 because his gastrointestinal system does horrible things when in contact with chicken, it's probably the best kibble i've given him. if you have an inukshuk distributor in your area the price can halve though so i'd shop around and see if anyone has The Goods

2. pumpkin is a classic belly calming potion, if it's just mildish diarrhea you might have some success just adding a tablespoon of pumpkin puree to meals. propectalin is also a useful supplement for tummy issues and my life would be unlivable without it, it's expensive which sucks but it lasts a while. vets actually prescribe propectalin for dogs with IBS which is so funny to me like you can get it cheaper than prescription of amazon this is like doggie pepto bismol. in my experience propectalin has worked better as a probiotic than fortiflora does, but fortiflora does have a marked effect, and is a good compromise for price. we also used probios, which is definitely effective particularly for dogs with highly explosive stomach issues resistant to everything else; it's a probiotic designed originally for livestock with some combinations blended specifically for dogs. the people hocking goats' milk are dumb though lol. goats' milk does not help in most cases, it can increase inflammation in the GI tract which is the last thing you want for a Shitter On The Loose

NOTE: if you find your boy has issues with beef, DO NOT give propectalin, it has beef in it. you will have a bad day. learn from my mistakes

3. one thing to play with are organ meats. sometimes diarrhea isn't always Belly Inflammation but an imbalance of nutrition, and sometimes an easy fix is picking up some chicken hearts or dried sheep liver and playing a bit. i won't wade into raw food discourse here, but as a warning, if you do take this advice in the direction of purchasing raw items, just know that most dogs have slightly looser stools on a raw diet compared to a kibble only diet, so if you do transition and you're like wtf? that's a pretty normal thing

and random only somewhat related doggie supplement advice i'm pitching just because it's cool: B12 is more effective as a calming supplement than CBD or melatonin. i kinda think most calming supplements are total bullshit but B12 is effective ime not because it provides an innate calming effect but because it addresses a nutritional issue that leads to that effect. as a human i personally start seeing the hat man if i forget to address a particular nutrient so i understand, puppies.

anyway i hope some of this helps your poor teenage mal and his belly troubles! wishing u and ur pups the best and i hope my phd in dog shit can be of assistance to you

i’m saving this for future use thank you for all the info :)

babe if you have to make an entire social media post about "adding nutrients to my dog's kibble" have you thought perhaps that kibble is not right for your dog?

Looking for ideas/advice

I've already asked friends and will try a few things, but I also want to throw this out to dogblr for more ideas:

Zaku likes to leave a few kibbles to a mouthful of food in his bowl at mealtimes. It doesn't really matter how much I feed him-- he always leaves a few kibbles in his bowl. I recently cut back on his breakfast because he prefers more food at dinnertime, and he still leaves kibbles in his bowl. He also leaves food in his toppl; he'll eat most of it and leave a bit of residue at the bottom. Stuff he's left in his toppl includes peanut butter, tuna fish, kibble (both his and Kermit's), and cottage cheese. These are all things he actively likes. If I dig it out for him he eats it happily.

Because he's been growing like a weed and has been very thin, I've been offering him food whenever he indicates he's hungry. Now that his major growth is over I'll be enforcing more strict mealtimes (e.g. breakfast and dinner only, no lunch or snacks).

I've been putting a topper on his dinner (daily fish oil, usually wet food, sometimes a raw egg or sardines/tuna). Kermit gets a topper to encourage him to eat, and Zaku gets a topper because Kermit does and to keep weight on. Breakfast is plain kibble with water splashed on top. He does not like dry kibble. I've done food scatters on the floor and in his crate, and he still leaves a handful of kibble behind.

Zaku eats a mixture of Purina Pro Plan Sport Mix Puppy and Diamond Puppy.

So my question is: How do I encourage him to finish his damn meals? He's a good weight and this isn't dire, it's just annoying. If I gave him fish or egg and need to wash his bowl, I don't want to throw away perfectly good (and expensive) kibble. I also don't want to take up room in the fridge saving it to finish later.
